5 free attractions in Melbourne, Australia

Australia’s second largest city is a place obsessed with art, food and coffee, packed with switched-on galleries, cafés, and iconic music venues. Here are 5 attractions in the stunning city that you can experience for free!

Sample some great Australian coffeeThe people of Melbourne are obsessed with coffee. For a glimpse into what their world of coffee feels and tastes like, make your way to a tasting session. Seven Seeds was one of the roasters that led the new wave – head to their warehouse at 114, Berkeley Street, in Carlton, to participate in a coffee-tasting process and to hang with some coffee-crazy locals

Pay a visit to the Camera MuseumFor a unique museum experience, where the subject matter is cameras (yes, that’s right!), make way to Michaels World-Famous Camera Museum. With retro-styled cameras so popular, now is the perfect time to see where the inspiration comes from. The museum has around 2,000 cameras on display, from early 20th-century contraptions to pioneering digital devices.

Visit the Melbourne Design MarketWhile the market is not held in the most glamorous location (it’s in an undercover car park), this twice-yearly event has some 50 designers showing their wares. It’s good for picking up ideas, people-watching and the opportunity to chat with the designers. Held on one Sunday in July and one in November, the market is a must-see if you’re even remotely interested in artsy things.

Attend the Melbourne CupOne of Australia’s most prestigious sporting events, the Melbourne Cup is a race that literally stops the nation, so don’t expect to be doing anything but watching horses on the day. There’s usually a Melbourne Cup Parade held a day before the main event to get you into the groove of things. Find out the dates beforehand and plan accordingly – getting a chance to see the thoroughbreds, jockeys and owners makes for a very memorable experience.

Discover the city’s street artMelbourne is known as one of the world’s greatest street art capitals, reputed for its unique expressions of art showcased on various approved outdoor locations throughout the city. Opposite Federation Square and joining Flinders Lane with Flinders Street, the cobblestoned Hosier Lane is arguably the central point of the city's street art scene. Make sure you spend a good deal of time, looking around at all the kitschy art on display.
